“…No Brasil, o questionário Multidimensional foi validado para aplicação em indivíduos com linfoma de Hodgkins (Baptista et al, 2012) e mais recentemente para utilização em pacientes com doença coronariana crônica (Antonio, Muller & Butcher, 2019). Os autores do questionário sugerem que os escores das subescalas não sejam somados para a obtenção de um escore total (Vallières et al, 2014;Antonio, Muller & Butcher, 2019). No entanto, estudo que analisou suas propriedades psicométricas, por meio do método Rasch, indicou que é possível a obtenção de um escore único, uma vez que a escala se mostrou unidimensional (Fredriksson-Larsson et al, 2015).…”

O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar os questionários utilizados para avaliar a fadiga em trabalhadores. Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed e LILACS. Dos 407 estudos encontrados, 21 se enquadraram nos critérios de seleção. Foram identificados sete questionários para avaliação da fadiga em trabalhadores que apresentam tradução e adaptação para o português e que foram validados no país, são eles: Questionário de Avaliação da Fadiga de Yoshitake; Questionário Bipolar de Avaliação da Fadiga; Questionário de Fadiga de Chalder; Escala de Necessidade de Descanso; Checklist of Individual Strength; Questionário Multidimensional da Fadiga e Escala de Severidade da Fadiga. As métricas de cada um deles foram discutidas, observando-se suas diferenças. Identificou-se que os questionários se complementam, pois não foi encontrado um questionário que separe a fadiga física e mental e que também verifique a intensidade da fadiga. Desse modo, sugere-se o uso de mais de um questionário nas pesquisas envolvendo essa temática, a fim de abranger diferentes perspectivas de avaliação da fadiga.

Background: Fatigue is a common distressing symptom in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is used for measuring fatigue in various clinical settings. Nevertheless, its multidimensional structure has not been consistent across studies. Thus, we aimed to psychometrically evaluate the MFI in patients with CAD. Methods: In sum, 1162 CAD patients completed questionnaires assessing their subjective fatigue level (MFI-20), mental distress symptoms (HADS, STAI), and health-related quality of life (SF-36). Participants also completed exercise capacity (EC) testing. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis of the four-factor model, showed acceptable fit (CFI = 0.905; GFI = 0.895; NFI = 0.893, RMSEA = 0.077). After eliminating four items, confirmatory factor analysis testing showed improvement in the four-factor model of the MFI-16 (CFI = 0.910; GFI = 0.909; NFI = 0.898, RMSEA = 0.077). Internal consistency values were adequate for the total score and four MFI-16 subscales: General fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, and mental fatigue with Cronbach’s α range: 0.60–0.82. The inadequate value (Cronbach’s α = 0.43) was received for the subscale of reduced motivation in both MFI-20 and MFI-16. Correlations between the MFI-16 and HADS, STAI, SF-36, and EC measures were statistically significant (all p’s < 0.001). Conclusions: The Lithuanian version of the modified MFI of 16 items showed good factorial structure and satisfactory psychometric characteristics, except for reduced motivation subscale.

Introduction: Fatigue is associated with various diseases of different origins extending from immune disorders to cancer. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychometric properties/dimensionality of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) questionnaire in samples of healthy adults and patient subgroups in Greece.Methods: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study that included 80 women with breast cancer, 108 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), 100 people with thalassemia diagnosis, and 185 healthy adults, aged 18-45 years. All patients were adults. Patients were recruited from a breast surgery clinic, a neurological clinic, and a thalassemia unit, while healthy adults were recruited from the University of West Attica students and personnel. The MFI-20, the modified fatigue impact scale (MFIS), the fatigue severity scale (FSS), and the Hamilton anxiety-depression scale (HANDS) were used. Internal consistency, repeatability, test-retest reliability, construct, and convergent validity were investigated.Results: MFI-20 exhibited excellent reliability properties (internal consistency: Cronbach's alpha MFI-20 subscales ranged from 0.83 to 0.94; repeatability: Pearson's r = 0.335 [p < 0.001]). Significant correlations were found between MFI-20 and MFIS: Pearson's r = 0.870, FSS: Pearson's r = 0.582 -0.335, and HANDS: Pearson's r = 0.734 -0.442 (all p-values < 0.0001) on all subsamples. However, its dimensionality is questionable depending on the subpopulation tested, and the one-dimension perspective is possible. MS patients exhibited the highest total score (55.26 ± 16.53), while thalassemia patients exhibited the lowest score (45.09 ± 13.54). In all subscales, thalassemia patients differed statistically significantly from the MS patients (p < 0.01), while in the reduced activity subscale, thalassemia patients differed significantly from all other groups (p < 0.01).Conclusions: As strict fatigue subscale classification is questionable, the use of MFI-20 total score is suggested for the assessment of fatigue in clinical populations. As MFI-20 is a very useful research tool for studying fatigue, the use of the total and/or partial scores depends on the clinical population. Total score instead of (or additionally) partial scores is suggested in clinical practice.
